Business Systems Analysis - Part II: Discovering, Analyzing & Specifying Business System Information Requirements

Inteq's Business Systems Analysis training program (Part I + Part 2) provides the essential critical thinking skills, conceptual knowledge and best practice techniques to rapidly discover, thoroughly analyze and accurately specify business system business requirements from a business perspective.

Business Systems Analysis Part II is the second day of this acclaimed 2-day instructor led business systems analysis training program.

Part I developed the first core category of requirements – business transactional requirements. Transactional requirements are what business systems need to do to support the business and the rules that define how to do it.

Part II develops the second core category of requirements – business information requirements. Business information requirements are the things that the business needs to know about (Orders, Customers, Reservations, etc.) and the rules for supporting the things the business needs to do (transactional requirements.

Part II also brings Part I and Part II together into a cohesive framework for highly effective analysis and provides key professional skills to enable participants to immediately apply the techniques from Part I and Part II within their organization.

Why this training program is important to you and to your organization

Business information requirements are not technical and are not about data bases. Business information requirements define your organization’s underlying business concepts, rules and reporting requirements from a business data perspective.

Analyzing business information requirements are equally, if not more important, than analyzing transactional oriented business requirements. This category of analysis, however, often takes a back seat transactional analysis.

The result, unfortunately, and far too often, are systems that are based on ambiguous, misunderstood and/or misapplied business terminology and business concepts that do not adequately support transactional requirements and business end-user information requirements.
